Elbow are an English band from Manchester, who have been active from the late 1990s.Acclaimed for their innovative sound and frontman Guy Garvey's candid, evocative lyrics, Elbow has received vast critical acclaim and been endorsed by major artists Blur, R.E.M. and U2. The Velvet Underground's co-founder John Cale selected Elbow's "Switching Off" as one of his eight chosen records on the BBC's "Desert Island Discs" radio programme.[1] Commercial success, however, has yet t...

One I thought the Moggers would like Its so strange how certain days remain in our memories enjoy everyone x

I've been thinking about this for a while. These lists are guaranteed to be updated and changed and totally messed around, but as of right now, here's how my concert experiences rank. I'd like to hear how yours rank too! TOP 5 CONCERTS!These are tough, and take a lot of thought, but I'm pretty set in this list so far. It hurts me a little bit that my favorite band did not make this list, despite having seen them twice. Little hint, Mr. Scott Anderson, don't get plastered... MORE

The Seldom Seen Kid has not left my player since I got it - non-stop enjoyment. I am brimming with excitement for Tuesday night. I love seeing a band that I hold dear.

Don’t you think it is one of the most annoying questions to come under: Name three albums to take with you to a desert island? Yes, an utterly nightmare question for music buffs in particular. A never-ending anxiety state due to the fear of “being have to leave something out” with a broken heart. As much absurd this list making is, as much irresistible in the mean time. Me, that is why every now and then I can’t help getting lost within hundreds of records only to figure ... MORE

Maybe I'm the last to know, but I just found out that Elbow FINALLY has a new album coming out next month!

Been a while since I posted, have really enjoyed the Moggers post, I guess I have been feeding more from you.. thanks, i am on here too much and love it too much.. LOL Ok, so I caught this band about a year ago on Youtube or somewhere and loved every song. But their videos were strange at best. The best one was a live video of them at a show. I think this one is their first really good video.. very good! Hope you enjoy! It was posted one day a couple of weeks ago but was... MORE

It is time to catch breath now! Three year wait is finding an end at last. The wonderful Mancunians are back! It IS happening finally! The Seldom Seen Kid: 4th studio album of the fantabulistic Elbow is to be released on 17th March. In order to galvanize; a sound clip for one of the new songs The Bones of You was put up on the official site few weeks back which has brought along some poistive feedback by all it seems. And and and last Thrusday night (24th Jan), the brand... MORE

Two English bands. One covering another. This is the story. Matt Johnson started the English multimedia music group The The in the late 70s post-punk industrial music scene and is still the only original member to this day. In 1989, on their 4th album Mind Bomb (the album was remastered and reissued in 2002), Johnson chose to record with a full band (rather than multiple session musicians) and he welcomed ex-Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr into the fold as well. This ... MORE

Checked all over the Mog/tiply sites to see if I could find anythi... MORE

ELBOW - LEADERS OF THE FREE WORLD (2005)Unanimously heralded in the U.K., and shunned in the U.S.A, the Manchester quintets 3rd long player works hard to move the band away from the “clever clever” intricacies of previous releases, and purposefully rests on a simpler more organic sound, bringing Guy Garvey’s original vocal style more to the fore. For a number of years, they have been regarded as the next big thing to rival the likes of Coldplay, Travis and Radiohead, and t... MORE

... of my being twenty-three years old, I woke up with this song in my head. Everybody now: "I wanted to explode, to pull my ribs apart, and let the sun inside..."

another great song from the band, Elbow, have a listen?
